Alternative Construction with Natural Building Methods |
|
If you are building a new home or adding to an existing one, using natural building methods makes a big difference. Natural building materials lower the cost of construction, and, as you might guess, because the materials are natural, they are non-toxic and sustainable. One of the keys of natural building methods is to build a home that is appropriate for your geographical area -- a hot, humid climate has much different needs than a dry, cold climate. |

Green Bath Scrubs, Sponges, and More |
|
When choosing a bathing tool to create the perfect lather, look for sponges and bath brushes made from natural materials. This means using things like sea sponges, natural loofahs (made from gourds) or renewable fibers like hemp and bamboo rather than those made from artificial materials like plastics. |
